Sela 2023
Details
Sela 2023
Made by Bodegas Roda, the red wine Sela is produced from 15 to 30-year-old vineyards situated in La Rioja.
As usual, this Spanish red wine is made principally from Tempranillo, complemented with a 5% Grenache.
Traditionally vinified, both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation took place in French oak vats. After that, this Crianza red wine was aged in used French oak barrels for 12 months.
Naturally stabilized, the red wine Sela 2023 was finally clarified with egg whites.
Aerate this red wine from La Rioja 30 minutes before drinking.
Pair with cured cheeses and roasted meat dishes.
| Appearance | The wine Sela is medium ruby with a reddish rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Elegant and suggestive, this blend of Tempranillo and Grenache conveys some understated notes of wild berries, liquorice and underbrush, punctuated by some delicately spicy and toasted touches. |
| Palate | This wine from Bodegas Roda is supple, fresh and unpretentious in the best sense of the term. Fruit-driven and vibrant, with smooth tannins, excellent acidity and a delicately mineral finish. |
| Our personal opinion | The exhilarating wine Sela 2023 is a pretty, pretty good value. |
